Overview:

Hitler planned to attack both Yugoslavia and Greece, to secure the Axis southern flank prior to the invasion of the Soviet Union. This would also bail out the Italian armies in Albania that had been forced to retreat by a determined Greek winter offensive. Hitler urged Mussolini to take particular care of the Albanian front to prevent any link up between the Yugoslav and Greek armies. The Italian 9th Army was stationed opposite the Yugoslav frontier in expectation of just such a move, since the Italian commanders speculated the Yugoslav 3rd Army might decide on a Morire in Belleza (Death or Glory) strategy against them. The Cuneense Division was tasked with capturing the border towns to preempt any Yugoslav counter-invasion. Early on 9th, a company pushed into the northern outskirts of the town of Dibra. In the afternoon, Major Annoni personally led the assault company to seize the remaining high ground within Dibra.

2025-01-13(D) Michael Rodgers vs Magnus Rimvall Yugoslavian win3.33 hrsItalians had bad luck with MC and ELR. Yugos put wire on the left and middle. Guns were behind the victory hill. HMG was HIP near that hill at start. MMG and 9-1 was on the first hill.
2023-07-28(A) nathan wegener vs Doug Kirk Yugoslavian winFun scenario - other than getting smoke from my big mortar my toys were worthless... Key game point was when the 8-1 went berserk and took a squad with him across the road and toward the VC hill where a defending MMG squad was waiting... A HS made it into the hex and with the distraction I was able to get 2 ADDITIONAL squads adjacent for a CC assault. Unfortunately the defending squad took them out in CC. Down 3 squads and a -1 leader my assault fizzled... Highly recommend the scenario - Italians might need a touch of help...
2023-06-24(A) Paul Legg vs Joe Arthur Italian winDouble One 2023 - Main Round 1 - This was a lesson in not giving up. I came close to quitting several times. I ended up going the direct route by assaulting the central hill, however Joe had a very well setup defence with machine guns, Art gun and the strong leader repulsing my attempts to move forward. Smoke was lost early in the game with the arrival of Heavy Winds,but the heavy mortar was able to take out the secpond ART piece setup in the brush on the victory hill. It was only on the seventh turn I had sufficiently weakened the defence that I was able to make some risky moves that paid off and take the necessary hill hexes.
2023-05-25(D) Andy Bagley vs Mike Grogan Yugoslavian winDon't be put off by this being a CH scenario, it plays pretty well. In our game the Italians had a tough time and were held up by the wire; they eventually got through but didn't then have enough time or resources to take the hill needed for victory. I'm sure it's winnable for the Italians but they need to plan and execute accurately (including placement of smoke, which will drift), and at least have a share of decent DRs.
